Nintendo of America has announced the official release date of Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD.

The HD update will be available for Wii U on October 4 in North America and in Europe on the same day. The game will feature updated graphics, an improved gameplay experience, and support off-TV play via the GamePad.

A new item called the Tingle Bottle will allow players to interact with the Miiverse community by writing messages in-game and then throwing the bottle into the sea. The bottle will then wash up in other players’ games.

Matthew Bennett finally got his big break with EGM three years ago, following years of volunteer work for various sites. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
